Damaged friendly aircraft are untrackable

When an aircraft is damaged it becomes untrackable by radar.
See attached file. There is an air unit that keeps popping up as a new contact. It is being chased by two red fighters. The airplane is well within friendly radar range, but for some reason only pops up as a sporadic contact. It think this is because the game is interpreting it as unable to communicate, but this should not preclude it from being detected by radar.
I'm not sure how the devs could fix the game to give a radar the ability to track the plane without it being able to communicate. I'm thinking perhaps send it to a new Side, and make it neutral to the player but still enemy to the enemy side?
